  • Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome Essay

    2105 Words  | 5 Pages

    During pregnancy an echocardiogram of the fetus can be done to produce images of the heart by sending ultrasonic sound waves to the vital organ. These sound waves create an image for the physician to analyze the babies heart function, structure sizes, and blood flow. A positive diagnosis before birth has shown to improve chances of survival, and will allow for appropriate care to be readily available at birth. If a baby is born without being diagnosed with the heart defect, some symptoms previous noted such as low oxygen levels can be suggestive of hypoplastic left heart syndrome. The baby may not display any symptoms or signs for hours after birth because of the openings allowing for blood to be pumped to the rest of the body. However, listening to the babies heart can revel a murmur indicating an irregular flow of blood in the heart. If a murmur is heard, or signs of the defect are observed, diagnostic tests will be ordered and performed. An echocardiogram is still the go-to test once the baby is born to evaluate the heart. The echocardiogram will diagnose the newborn, by revealing the underdeveloped left ventricle, mitral and aortic valve, and the ascending aorta commonly seen in

  • Case Study: Reyna Grande

    1560 Words  | 4 Pages

    Initially Reyna Grande and her siblings Carlos and Mago were left behind while her parent immigrated to the United States to work. During that time Grande faced many struggles among the most prevalent were her feelings of abandonment, the neglect she and her siblings faced at the hands of their paternal grandmother, and the ostracization. Reyna was left behind when she was a baby by her father and had no concrete recollection of him and her mother left when she was four. Until that point Reyna’s mother had been the only parental figure she had known. The abandonment didn’t stop at the physical absence of her mother, but also at the emotional unavailability of her mother when she finally did return. In the absence of their mother the Grande children were to be cared for by their paternal grandmother Evila who was largely hostile and neglectful. Though their grandmother provided them with housing and at least some nourishment she was in no way emotionally supportive or loving toward them often blatantly displaying her preference for their cousin Elida prominently as if to reiterate the favoritism. The children were often ostracized amongst their peers due to their status as “orphans”. In opposition to their cousin who, although in the same predicament she was seen as

  • Essay On Hyperemesis Gravidarum

    864 Words  | 2 Pages

    “Hyperemesis gravidarum is a relatively rare coniditon, occurring in about 0.3% to 2% of all pregnancies” (Davidson, London, &Ladewig, 2012). It is described as a condition in which nausea and vomiting are so severe that they affect both the mother’s nutritional and hydration status. It is still unknown what specifically causes hyperemesis gravidarum, but it is suggested that the levels of hCG and other pregnancy hormones play a role. Signs and symptoms that the illness is in fact hyperemesis gravidarum, and not just “morning sickness”, include not being able to keep any food down, lightheadedness or fainting, electrolyte imbalances, weight loss, and dehydration. According to Davidson, London, and Ladwig, “The diagnostic criteria for hyperemesis include a history of intractable vomiting in the first half of pregnancy, dehydration, ketonuria, and a weight loss of 5% of prepregnancy weight” (Davidson, London, & Ladewig, ...

    Other signs and symptoms, along with the position of the heart is cleft palate, spinal defects, and pulmonary atresia, and a “C” curvature of the thoracic spine (kyphosis) The condition has an incidence 1 in 100,000, with a 2∶1 male dominance and a prevalence of 5.5–7.9 per 1 million live births, and stillbirths result in one- third total cases. Ectopia Cordis can be diagnosed as a fetus in early pregnancy and sonographically evaluated in the first trimester. Most cases of Ectopia Cordis will be detected at an early gestational age. Studies show, they believe the pathogenesis of Ectopia Cordis is caused by chromosome abnormalities (trisomy 18), the incomplete fusion of the midline mesoderm of the abdomen and the chest in the embryo stage, early rupture or yolk sac and the amniotic band syndrome which restricts blood flow and affects the baby's development. An interesting factor that I learned researching this disease is the rarity in Ectopia Cordis of the high death rates, few survivors and it's unknown
